After you wrote this comment, OP made a concern troll post on the Men's Liberation community.
You were totally on point about the FUD thing.
Yeah... I'm only surprised that they shifted tactics so quickly. Fear, Unrest, and Doubt are the key tactics in Russian Disinfo campaigns. There's an old axiom: If someone is trying to make you feel strongly about something, then they are trying to sell you something. In this case, OP Is trying to piss people off in order to convince them of propaganda and Russian talking points.
BULLSHIT.
The thing that it seems most of them are trying to sell everyone on is to not vote- which is exactly what most right-wing and Russian propaganda also seem to want.
Did you ever notice that the people they’re pleading to also never seem to be Trump supporters? Did you ever notice that it’s almost ALWAYS “don’t vote for Biden” rhetoric?
Did you ever wonder why?
And it’s very easy to say that maybe, just MAYBE… they’re suggesting no one vote for either, but everyone knows who they’re really talking to.
